Biologists are often stuck between two opposing questions: Why are there so many species
and why are there not more? Although these questions apply to the maintenance of existing …

Understanding the processes that drive phenotypic diversification and underpin speciation
is key to elucidating how biodiversity has evolved. Although these processes have been …

Many species‐rich ecological communities emerge from adaptive radiation events. Yet the
effects of adaptive radiation on community assembly remain poorly understood. Here, we …

Understanding how the early stages of sexual signal diversification proceed is critically
important because these microevolutionary dynamics directly shape species trajectories and …

Ontogenetic diet shifts, where individuals change their resource use during development,
are the rule rather than the exception in the animal world. Here, we aim to understand how …

Individual variability in mortality is widespread in nature. The general rule is that larger
organisms have a greater chance of survival than smaller conspecifics. There is growing …

The presence or absence of sex can have a strong influence on the processes whereby
species arise. Yet, the mechanistic underpinnings of this influence are poorly understood. To …
